Ingredients
  • 1 large spaghetti squash (or 2 small)
  • olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups corn
  • 1 1/2 cups black beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • Optional: sour cream, cilantro, hot sauce
Instructions
  1. Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp and seeds and discard. Brush the spaghetti squash with olive oil and sprinkle with a good amount of kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.

  2. Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.

  3. While the squash is in the oven place the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Add taco seasoning packet along with 1/4 cup water. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Set turkey taco meat aside.

  4. When the squash is cooked, turn both sides so that cut side is up. Slide a fork over the squash and it will easily come apart looking like spaghetti noodles.

  5. Divide the taco meat, salsa, corn, and beans evenly between the two halves of the squash. With a fork carefully mix in with the "noodles". Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt or pepper if needed. Top with cheese and place back into the 400 degree oven for 5 minutes or until cheese and melted.

  6. Top with sour cream, cilantro, or hot sauce if desired.
